Briefing Paper: A Hopeful Yet Fragile Peace – How the UK Can Support Sudan’s Democratic Transition and Pursuit of Justice

This briefing was prepared by Protection Approaches, Waging Peace and REDRESS ahead of a debate on a Westminster Hall debate on October 15th on the June massacres in Sudan and the UK’s support for Sudan’s democratic transition. Our briefing highlights how at a critical moment in Sudan’s transition towards democracy, the risk of violence and atrocities remain high. This presents an important opportunity for the UK to reprise its role as Sudan’s “critical friend” to support an inclusive and sustainable transition process for Sudan.
